The formative activities of this course include on-site, supervised and autonomous activities:
- On-site classes are directed by the professors of the course and will take place in the facilities of the Faculty. They can be large group classes or seminars: these classes allow the exposition, reflection and debate of the main contents and discussion elements of the four blocks. The seminars are small group work spaces to analyze and debate the activities proposed by the teaching staff to complement the theoretical contents. The seminars are compulsory attendance and the students will be assigned to one of the groups scheduled at the beginning of the course.
- Supervised activities include individual or group activities to be completed by the students on their own with the supervision of the professors. These activities include the on-site or virtual tutorial sessions addressed at solving difficulties, orienting tasks and ensure the comprehension of the course contents.
- Autonomous work is carried out by the student independently and includes the preparation of readings, cases or other equivalent activities.
- Our teaching approach and assessment procedures may be altered if public Health authorities impose new restrictions on public gatherings for COVED-19.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The evaluation of the subject Social Context and School Management must allow the verification of the achievement of the identified competences. Likewise, the global design of the subject and its methodological guidelines must be kept in mind.
The evaluation of this subject is continuous and final.Por lo que se refiere a la a la evaluación continua de tipo formativo se tendrán en cuenta los diferentes bloques de contenido y su orientación general:
• In Block 1 (15%) it is necessary to carry out a cooperative work proposed in class and other evidence of monitoring the seminars. GROUP
• In Block 2 (15%) it is necessary to carry out a cooperative work proposed in class and other evidence of monitoring the seminars. GROUP
• In Block 3 (10%) it is necessary to carry out a cooperative work proposed in class and other evidence of monitoring the seminars. GROUP
• In Block 4 (10%) it is necessary to carry out a cooperative work proposed in class and other evidence of monitoring the seminars. GROUP
The note of the group work will be qualified by the individual contributions.
The final evaluation consists of two final INDIVIDUAL and summative written tests that include all the contents of the different blocks. These tests have a weight in the final evaluation of 50% (20% Block 1, 10% Block 2, 10% Block 3 and 10% Block 4). If necessary, all final assessment tests will have a second chance of recovery. The dates of the evaluations will be:
• Groups 21, 31, 41 and 71: final test Blocks 1 and 2 (after completion of Blocks I and II), final test Blocks 3 and 4 (after completion of Blocks III and IV). Recovery of Blocks 1, 2, 3 and 4 (at the end of the semester).
To passthe subject, you must have an average equal to or greater than 5. To be able to do the average with the activities, you must obtain at least 5 in each of the exams. It will be considered NOT PRESENTED (NP) when the student has failed to take any of the written tests. In relation to the other evidence of learning, when any of these is not delivered, the grade will be 0.
To pass the subject it is essential to show an attitude compatible with the educational profession. In this sense, the student must demostrate active listening, respect, participation, cooperation and punctuality in the classroom. It is also essential to make proper use of electronic devices (mobile, computer, touch tablet, etc.) in the classroom. These devices can only be used to carry out activities related to the subject.
Attendance is compulsory. The supporting documents only serve to explain the absence, in no case do they exempt from attendance. Students who do not pass any of the exams will have the possibility of recovery on the indicated date.
The marks obtained in each of the evaluating activities will be delivered to the students by publishing results in Moodle, or in the classroom or in SIGMA. Once the grades have been delivered, the students will be able to review the grade in the hours that the teachers have for tutoring.
The notes of each one of the evaluation evidences will be made public in the virtual campus in the 20 days following its delivery. The student who wants to review the note will be able to do so within 15 days after its publication in the tutoring schedule that the teaching staff has established for this subject and that is stated in the program.
Linguistic correction, writing and formal presentation aspects will be taken into account in all activities. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. An activity can be returned (not evaluated) or suspended if teachers consider that it does not meet these requirements.
We recall that, in the case of the Catalan language, in 1st and 2nd courses students are required to have a linguistic competence equivalent to Level 1for Infant and Primary Education Teachers; and that from the 3rd year of the Degree the students must have shown a competence equivalent to Level 2 for Early Childhood and Primary Education Teachers.

Copying or plagiarism, both in the case of work and in the case of exams, constitute a crime that may represent failing the subject:
• A work, activity or exam will be considered to be “copied” when it reproduces all or part of another partner's work.
• A work or activity will be considered “plagiarized” when a part of a text by an author is presented as its own without citing the sources, regardless of whether the original sources are on paper or in digital format. More info at: https://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html
It is recommended to follow the APA regulations (2010, 6th version). See: https://ddd.uab.cat/pub/recdoc/2016/145881/citrefapa_a2016.pdf
